Definition

To connect, join, or fasten one thing to another, physically or by association. Commonly used when adding documents or things to something else.

Usage & Nuances

Can refer to both physical connection ('attach this to the wall') and adding files ('attach to email'). Common in formal and everyday language. Often followed by a noun or object ('attached to the letter', 'attach to the handle'). 'Attach' alone is sometimes confused with 'connect' or 'join', but 'attach to' emphasizes the specific link.
